School Safety
I came across this great resource if you need some suggestions regarding how to talk with your child. While we can continue to try to shield our children from knowing about violent events that happen all over the world, sometimes they find out about such events and have questions and concerns. This is a great toolkit for all:
Looking for 3rd and 4th grade Parents
We need 3rd grade parents to help with providing and arranging refreshments for Moving Up Day in June.
Slideshow - Parents to help collect pictures of our 4th graders and create a slideshow to share at Moving Up Day in June
4th Grade Picnic - Parents to help coordinate the 4th grade picnic at Ninigret Park.
